OK, here's what I've done.
I ran a bunch of Explorations to check the values of various
functions and variables at every bar to see where they evaluated as
true or false, if they were Boolean like Buy and Sell, and at what
numerical value if they were non-Booleans like Open and Close.
So, I think I now know why my code was having problems, and what
I'll need to do going forward to get my system to perform the way I
want it to.
